Solar power changes Indigenous lives in Northern Territory

Two remote communities in Northern Territory have been given new life, with the communities benefiting enormously from the introduction of a new solar power project.

Previously the communities only had access to diesel generated power – this was extremely costly and people were unable to stay in the outback. Introducing solar panels to the Indigenous community has transformed lives.

People who were once unable to afford to live in the area have returned. A school has opened up and their are future opportunities for growth.
